Strategies to Resist Advertising

In the present research, we developed and validated a scale to measure strategies that people adopt when resisting advertising. In three different studies, ten strategies (e.g., counter arguing, selective exposure, and avoidance) were observed. The scale shows convergent validity when correlated with ad skepticism, resistance to persuasion, and reactance.
